Maternity Crisis	comment	If a woman in fiction is established as near-term pregnant, and there comes an event that would be the worst possible time for her to go into labor, the baby is going to pick that time to be born. Doesn't matter if it's drama or comedy, doesn't matter when the baby was actually expected to be due, doesn't matter if The End of the World as We Know It is approaching — it's coming now, and the cast is going to have to deal with it on top of whatever crisis plagues them. A Delivery Guy will have to go into action quickly here. Its frequency in fiction aside, this is otherwise actually not as unrealistic as it sounds. The stress caused by extreme or sudden psychological or physical trauma can cause a near-term woman to go into labor, and an earthquake, attack by an army of mooks, apocalypse or the like have been known to be very stressful. The most common exception, oddly enough, is any episode where the mother is already expecting to go into labor any moment and the drama around the birth itself is the point of the episode. Compare Imperiled in Pregnancy. Super-Trope of Born in an Elevator. Frequently involves Instant Birth: Just Add Labor! and a Screaming Birth. Sister Trope to Away in a Manger, which is a near-term pregnant woman in a Christmas Episode giving birth on or near Christmas. This may overlap with Born During a Storm. Related to Premature Birth Drama. The Other Wiki has an article on some births that may occur during this trope.

Lindesfarne's water breaks while she's being rescued from the carnivore supremacy terrorist group N.O.P.E. (as evidenced by one terrorist being sopping wet from it breaking over his head). However, Lindesfarne doesn't realize she's in labor until after the terrorists are arrested and carted off, and after the adrenaline wears off. (In case you're wondering how she missed such a big clue, the terrorists were trying to drown her.) To make matters worse, she's a good distance from civilization, being a counselor at a summer camp, and the only one qualified to deliver babies is busy with other patients from the terrorist attack. Luckily, with the help of Carl and Leona, she safely gives birth to her daughter Turvy.

Once the baby had been delivered, she broke the car window and set out to hike back to safety, only to get lost in the mountains.

Cue Pepper's mom going into labor...with her husband fishing at the lake... and only Bella, a hyperventilating Pepper, and a fainting Sophie there to help her. And the only one not in labor with even a driving permit is Bella... meaning a 15-year-old girl who's had one ("technically one and a half") driving lesson is driving a woman in labor to the hospital... and trying to finally get to the playoff game.

She has a concussion and is in labor, nine weeks early, with her 25th child... and the only people home with her are children too young to help. A Jamaican woman who can't get through to the midwives by phone walks all the way to the steps of Nonnatus House, then gives birth in the hallway. The daughter of a Swedish sea captain lives in a cabin so tiny that there's no room to spread her legs to give birth. The midwives have to take a rowboat and then climb a rope ladder to get to her. A woman goes into labor as her father is dying and refuses to leave his side or lie down on a bed. She gives birth kneeling on the floor while Nurse Leigh lies on the floor to catch the baby.

The egg hatches right as they start going on the run into the incredibly dangerous Poison Jungle, both endangering their escape (as they must protect the hatching egg) and meaning they must now traverse a treacherous jungle with a newborn dragonet.

Louise locks the door so that she doesn't miss any action, and naturally that's when one of the One-Eyed Snakes, Mudflap, goes into labor. Luckily for her, Logan's dad is a doctor. In "Roamin' Bob-Iday", Mudflap and her biker friends hold a baby shower at the restaurant for her pregnant friend Goldie. Goldie has been hiding the fact she's in labor and, in a bizarre coincidence, also has her baby at the restaurant, without even a doctor on standby. Bob is out for most of the episode and is shocked, to say the least, to return to the disgusting scene (Gene used hamburger buns to mop up the blood).

Six-year-old Gen is the only one around, so he has to help. (All of the doctors and nurses are too busy trying to help the bomb victims.) Sadly, baby Tomoko dies shortly afterwards as well, because Kimie (like many people in her community) is starving due to the high cost of food, and because of that, her milk dries up. Gen works to get powdered milk for Tomoko, but by the time he manages to save enough money and buy some, it's too late; Tomoko has starved to death.

Callahan's niece is abducted by human traffickers while she's heavily pregnant, and while the effects of stress on the baby are raised and it does keep her out of the field, at no point is her actually going into labor suggested.

Luckily, they found shelter in some ancient ruins. The volcano calmed down right as Arnold was born. This goes unexplained. This actually would have been a plot point in the unmade "Jungle Movie": apparently, the eruption stopped right after Arnold was born, so the natives that Miles and Stella were staying with believe him to be some sort of godlike figure. As they're all comatose in the actual Jungle Movie, this doesn't get brought up in the film. A variant: Arnold and his friends are stuck in a stalled subway car with a few other passengers, including a Blind Black Guy whose seeing-eye dog suddenly seems very sick.

Maternity Crisis / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: Keiko, wife of Miles O'Brien, whom has been established as pregnant in prior episodes, goes into labor in "Disaster", in the middle of a shipboard crisis resulting from a collision with a random Negative Space Wedgie, stranded in Ten Forward and with only Worf available to be the Delivery Guy. This gets a hilarious Call-Back in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Accession", when Miles and Keiko tell the rest of the crew that she's having a baby and a visibly alarmed Worf exclaims "Now?" Upon learning that it won't be for seven months, he decides to avoid this one by making plans to be away from the station at that time... far away... visiting his parents... on Earth.
